It does not claim that one person thought of an idea in a vacuum. A question about the telephone asks who received the 1876 United States patent, not who imagined speech at a distance first.
Each explanation names the public reference checked on 6 October 2026. The quiz is for entertainment and does not compare your score with anyone else. It also does not ask you to guess how an average person would do. Read the wording with care. There is no time limit. Take the questions one at a time.
